The Decklink HD I have worked for monitoring, I think the drivers are the same for all of the Decklink cards so Resolve just sees the card as being there.

I run it at home on my 15″ with a display port cinema display. It runs it’slow and painful. I did fix up a SD project at home last week with it though…

I think the $30K is pretty reasonable for the Resolve panels IMO a Blackboard for the Baselight is about $45K and the Tangent CP series panels are $20K+ depending on how many you get.
I run a set of DaVinci network panels in Telecine every day and if you have never used a system like that you may not know what you are missing but if you have you would never want to go back to the slog of using a mouse or tablet. even the three low end panels (Wave, MC, JL) are kind of slow poke in comparison.
I think a Resolve OSX system with Resolve panels is a great bargain compared to the other systems in it’s price/performance class. I know that the current panels are an all new design based on the Impresario panels (which were ethernet I believe) so the “old stock” idea is not correct. I think it comes down to the fact that Colorist work is a special niche and not something like Editorial and they are not going to sell 10K+ sets of panels maybe only hundreds.

OK
I can be a publicly sarcastic bastard. Sometimes this works and here is Avid’s response to my sarcastic flogging.
“Third parties can integrate MC Color themselves through an API that is
available upon request. For example, smoke, REDCINE-X, etc. have all done
the integration work themselves.”That was not so bad right? They could even have put that in an email or something.
They suggested that I use my sarcasm on BMD 😉

Avid is stoopid sometimes they are almost like the government or something.
Hey we are avid and we bought this company which has a bunch of good products, let’s sit on them and have a bunch of meetings and then do nothing for a while.

I am also hoping for a MC-Color update for Resolve and I have sent several emails to Avid/Euphonix with no reply. Maybe a post on the CML is in order.

If they can’t get it running on the Timex Sinclair I have in a box in the back room I am going to storm off this forum in a huff. And for that matter how about NeXT cube with NeXT Dimension support it has video IO.

I have used a Pandora Platinum with the Spirit and use a 888DUI/network panels all the time and I had a Baselight 4 on demo at Cinelab for a few months over IBC a few years ago. My impression of the Pogle was that it worked almost exactly like my System Copernicus as far as lists, etc. I have been using Color on a fully maxed out 2,1 Mac-Pro for 2K dpx grading for about a year.
I am just getting up to speed on Resolve and I really do feel I would want the panels esp. coming from using DaVinci panels already. I really do not think you can characterize Resolve as the “latest” thing it is a tried and true hi end solution in V7 release. I have seen it working at Co3 and it seems to have some “market dominance” because it really works and works fast.
Color is probably the least supported app on the Mac platform which seems to be rapidly turning into the least supported platform in the apple stable. Could I use it to do work? Yes Is it buggy and slow, especially rendering? Yes will I use it again? Probably not.
Resolve on Linux appears to be a highly stable platform and I am sure there will be a few tweaks for the Mac platform but it appears to be very bug free with quick fixes coming for the issues that are there.
